Kelly Huggins

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Frederick, MD


Hello, I’m Kelly Huggins!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 30 years of nursing experience.

Because the world of mental health acronyms can be confusing, I like to be clear about my role: I am a specialized advanced practice nurse, not a traditional talk therapist. My primary focus is on medical and diagnostic care, featuring carefully tailored medication management. However, I firmly believe that medicine is only part of the puzzle. That is why supportive psychotherapy is deeply woven into our sessions together, alongside guidance on lifestyle changes to support your daily wellness. If you ever need deep, ongoing traditional therapy, I am always happy to connect you with trusted therapists to round out your care team.


When I’m not partnering with patients, I love being a mom, a wife, and an avid traveler exploring the world!
